Aleksandar Mitrović upstaged Karim Benzema as Al Hilal and Al Ittihad met in Friday’s Saudi Pro League clash.

The reigning Ballon d’Or holder appeared to have helped his side into a commanding 3-1 lead, with his opposite number scoring a consolation.

But Mitrović returned from the half-time interval to strike twice in the space of five minutes to level up matters for the visitors.
